John C. risher in "Tho Ited Hose"
furnishes us with the most extensive
lirograni of slnglnB and dancing that has
been displayed on a single stage In many
years; ho lias also provided a company
that in more numerous In Its personnel
than is usually presented, even by the
most ambitious of managers, and has
otherwise displayed an opulence that Is
most refreshing in his efforts to make
Ma entertainment worth- while. And
when It Is added that his sinpers can
ring', that his dancers can dance, and
that his comedians are really funny, the
story of the evening is about told. "The
Red Rose" Is extensive in every way, and
to particularize means to exhaust the
vocabulary of praise, so the task will not
be undertaken. The best way to get a
full notion of what Is offered is to at
tend at tho Brandeis while the company
Is holding- foi-th there and see for your
self. It has three long acts, each stuffed
full of the prettiest of pictures of girls
and men, with songs and dances and
humorous sallies, and all telling a really
connected story of life, and love in Paris,
In whins, students, the nobility, and the
Americans who visit the French capital.
Miss Zoo Burnett Is the hard workinsr
member of the company; she has not an
idle moment, for when she Is not on the
Ftage slngins In a captivating way, or
Canclng in a way still mbre fetching, she
Is In her dressing room Inwlly setting
into another sown, more stunning than
the last. She wears about a dozen dif
ferent costumes, all of tho latest, and
scmo that are cilmoHt daring, but every
one an exquisite creation; incidentally.
she has the hats to go with them, and
If it is only viewed from a sartorial
standpoint, her performance Is a distinct
hit. But Miss Harnett can sing wonder
fully well, and dance beautifully, so she
Is a real treat.
Miss De Von Is a saucy soubrette of a
dashing sort, and Miss Ellsworth In
troduces herself to us as another female
comedian of quality. Kach of theso young
persons can dauco and sing. And tWa
statement goes . for the whole feminine
contingent of the company, the same
counting well over a score of pretty
Klrls, who are given the opportunity of
appearing in many differing garbs, all
charming.
Mr. rrascona slugs with a single fault;
his tones are sweet and pure, but his
enunciation Is such as to prevent any.
ne from catching a word of his songs.
The men are well selected, and the male,
chorus Is especially strong. Song hits
and dance numbers that bring demands
for more abound, in fact "The Itcd
Rose" Is even more than the advance
notices iiromlued, it is as good a musical
piece as has been presented hero In a
long time, or as is likely to be seen hero
this season. Its reception at the' Bran
dels last night was most enthusiastic, and
It ought to be very popular during the
remainder of Its time In town. The en
gagement lasts till after 'Wednesday
night, with a matinee on Wednesday
afternoon.
Blllr" at the American
After having teamed for two weeks on
serious drama patrons of. the American
theater enthusiastically welcomed ' the
change to farce comedy Sunday after
noon, when the Woodward titock com
pany began a week's run with "Billy."
"Billy" la what might be called a
screaming farce. The play Is built around
a couple of sets of false teeth, the own
ers being Billy llargravc, a foot bull hero
and Mrs. Moane, tho mother of Beatrice,
with whom Hargrave is In love. Sam
Kustace also loves Beatricu. When all
uro voyaging across the Atlantic Eustace
poisons Mrs. fc-loane usalnst Hargrave by
painting him us a fait young man and
fickle. Hargrave proposes to Beatrice
and begins with a confession that he has
false teeth. Ono of the crew awkwardly
bumps against him, knocking him down.
Ho loses his teeth, lit flees in embar
rassment. Beatrice thinks the confession
to abruptly ended was to have been a
confession of a "past." Hargrave, des
perate for teeth, steals those of Mrs.
i-Uoane while she bleep. Kustace, to win
favor with her, endeavors to find the
thief. Hargrave's ' lost teeth are put up
at auction. Ho is determined to have
them and Kustace, thinking they are Mrs.
Sloane'a, makes u contest. The bidding
starts at fn, jumps quickly to hundredj
and finally the teeth ure knocked down
to Hargrave at $l.tx.
He eplaln"to Beatrice. She apologist..
fur doubting him and all imlu well.
Miss Eva lang a: id Austin Webb in the
leading rules find opportunity to ikuiuu-
! urate their abilities. Mr. Webb nuti..,
a fine, hearty college follow. MUa Lam
as a stubborn, pretty, sweet. ount; tlrl,
, finds herself In a part well suited lj her.
Seldom has she appeared to LttU-.- ad
vantage. Mis Blanche MoiiHon offers a splendid
piece of character uetln in her portrayal
of the mother of Beatricu. MLss Lotus
Itobb makes for Hargrave tl.o sort of
later that any fellow might like to have.
Miss Jean Margo, the stewardess, mukiM
the most of a CJernsan character und
does all that could be required In Ipihllnf
up her side of several side-splitting scenes
with Hargrave. Frank Jones, the new
comedian of the Woodward company,
plays the boatswain and offers ample
proof that Manager Woodward made no
mistake whin he picked hjni for a good
actor. Robert T. Preaton. Ik Kain Kustace,

Bni'lrsiiuc nt the Cjcyety.
Sam Howe'B menu for the pr?5.-nt sea
son imparted a very laiste assortment f
enjoyment to the audiences at the Oayety
yesterday. Sam Howe calls his organi
zation "Love Makers." Mayhap they
are; but yesterday they were fun makers.
It Is a good show, with such a sprinkling
of all sorts of burlesque that It Is very
easy to enjoy. Ohapcly girls swimming
In a huso tank of water brought out a
nolxy demonstration of approval. Two
trained dceis, tho property of Frank
demon, drew a small wagon about the
ttage, and though they have but recently
been broken to drive In harno.-s, they
acted as though they had been pulling
wagons for several years.
Sam Jlowe himself, with a brilliant
group of chorus girls and much attractive
scenery about him, led the love-making
contingent cn a merry chaso through two
high gecred acts. The olio is strong
with one coon singer of merit.
For Tuesday night Munuger Johnson

cliancn to win the audienco by chuckle
or picturesque gesture. It wus his por
tion to depict a man unscrupulous,' ambi
tious to reuch a hlgii plane financially
atid socially, weakly bowing to the will of
another man and fearful only of detec
tion, llo did It in a masterly manner.
Outnlde of the three stars, the work of
Frank L'enlthornu was especially com
mendable. Tho stupid young English
cuptaln, who Is in reality a clever do
tectlve, was excellently portrayed by
him. Mr. Denlthorne was a member of
tho Woodward fitoel; company In Omaha
for two seasons.
Tho story, as already hinted, hlngos on
the faculty of Ilalston for imitating
hundwrltlng. Ho and the baron perpe
trated numberless frauds through this
talent. Tho two are exposed through the
coming to Fngland, at the request of
Captain Hedwood, the detective, of Louis
Percival, who had lost JCW.ilflO through a
forgery hi America. Percival was an old
friend of Halston and was once engaged
to Mrs. Halston. In an Interview be-

and 'lliuiluw Iter Ken. all stuiu well

at the- 1:0yd last ni:jhl in "Jim the Tea
man, that ramu "J mi the I'timian
which attained great success in New
York und London a number of years aK".
With this trl-star combination, supported
ulth a metropolitan cast of merit, tne
play la one that probably will not be ex
celled in Omaha all season In dramatic
quality.
Miss P.obcits has played "for several
years through the wot, usually in so
culled problem plays, and few actresses
are b.-Mcr known hi re and better liked
than she. Hhe lived up to the reputation
of lior talent laHt nlgiil as Mrs. Halston,
wlfo of Julius KalMoii, otherwise "Jim

jfoio'ory, glows wealthy by forgery, be

that ho ever wrote her a letter breaking
off the engagement and she denies that
sho wrote him one. After events prove
that Halston wrote them botn, also tho
check on which the baron drew Percl-
vnl's money from the bank. Halston dies
of heart failure and the baron is taken
In custody Just as Hedwood recovers the
diamonds that the two have stolen from
Lord lellncourt, who that day had be
come Hnlsion's son-ln-taw.
The eurtaln drops without another

will wed. A second performance of the

Vaudeville nt the Orplieiim.
Mere mention of the fact that a musical
act Is topping the bin at the urpheum
this week cannot by any means suffice to
convey the assurance that any such pre
sentation Is good enough to serve as a
headllncr. llut 11. A. liolfe is among the
congress of virtuosos In what the autVor
Is pleased to style "The Holfonlans." He
Is the producer of many vaudeville acts,
among which Is "The Courtiers." recently
playing ut the Orphcum with tremendous
succers. "The Holfonlans" appear In a
lawn fete on a Virginia country estate.
They play ami they sing, and everything
Is done gracefully, exquisitely, magnifi
cently. Holfe, too, by the wn'. Is known
ns America's premier cornetlst, and he
fully sustains his reputation with his
marvelotm performance.
Madamo Hesson comes with her F.ng
llsh company In a dramatic, playlet, "The
Woman Who Knew." The lines are finely
drawn, though tremendous In effect, deal
ing with passions that bring on divorces,
and though highly dramatic, there Is a
burst of comedy at tht climax that lifts
the audience from tears.
It sounds like a bit absurd, but It la
true, that at tho matinee performance
Bunday a man, a big hearty fellow, went
Into such paroxysms of laughter that he
cried, and It was necessary for his friends
to carry him out of the theater. This
happened when Chick Kales, the comody
piotean entertainer, was presenting his
conception of "A Country School Enter
tainment." With remaikable versatility
ho makes seven changes of character so
rapidly that the audience Is astounded.
Aside from showing wonderful Ingenuity
In quick changes he gives the most laugh,
able performance seen at the Urpheum
this season. Ills art runs nearly thirty
minutes, and still the audience does not
tire of him.
Wero, an Italian musician, gives a per
formance with that novel Instrument, the
piano accordion, lie deserves the encores
he received Bunday. Jack Connelly and
Margaret Webb appear in a musical ub-
Hinility, "A Htormy Finish." This act is
great. John Helmorn and Miss olive
Adair give "Scenes ltehtnd tho Hectics."
It la full of comedy and goes big. Mae

Read This Extraordinary Statement
It is more than -an argument. It is such a state
ment as cannot be made by any other dealer in Omaha
who has sold any quantity of other makes of high
priced '. automobiles for any considerable length of
time. We want you to read this carefully and con
sider how much it means in assured satisfaction to the
purchaser of a Pierce Arrow. Here it is:
There is not one man in our territory who
over bought a Pierce Arrow, no matter how
long ago he bought it, nor how high his f inanoial
standing, but who still owns that same Pierce
Arrow with the exception of one party for whom we
disposed of his car at the highest price that has ever
been paid for a second-hand car in this territory to
enable him to purchase a higher powered Pierce.
Such men as buy Pierce Arrow automobiles could not be induced under nny
circumstances to continue to use a car which in any way failed to absolutely fulfill
its intended purpose of giving dependable1, uninterrupted daily service to its owner.
In the continued ownership of a car so good, so responsive to every demand,
o creditable in appearance and m low in upkeep costs, these men have found the
one great factor of economy iu motor car buying, that is, they have avoided the
high rate of yearly depreciation which usually is a source of greater expense than
all items of car maintenance combined.
Our entire year's allotment of Pierce's will be delivered on
definite schedule and we have but few open delivery dates between
now and April 1st. Part of these cars are coming through with
closed bodies. We shall be pleased to have you call at our sales
room, 'phone or write us if you desire further information.
